• Did Margot Robbie deliver as Harley Quinn?  We think so
• Will Smith didn’t really own the role as Deadshot.
• Jared Leto’s letdown as the Joker. Was he the main reason for all the terrible reviews?
• Viola Davis commands a strong performance as Amanda Waller
• Diablo has the biggest character arc in the movie
• Boomerang wins the award for most useless character
• Captain Flag has a solid performance that was almost forgettable
• The Enchantress conjures nostalgic feelings of Ghostbusters in her final scene. Anyone else reminded of Zuul?

The first Purge movie gave a great set up for this sequel, The Purge: Election Year. They do it again, using the world we’ve come to know from the first two movies exploring the best Purge yet.

Frank Grillo returns as Leo Barnes, a former cop and Edwin Hodge as Dante Bishop, from the first film who is now a revolutionist. Bishop leads the anti-government movement and Barnes is the head of security for Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell). Roan is running for president on an anti-Purge platform.

Election Year strays from being a straight horror film. It has a few scares, but delivers a much more involved discussion of politics, racism, and other social issues.

The Imperfect Podcast discusses the film in this episode:

On this week’s Imperfect Podcast we review Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War. In one of our last podcasts, we made predictions about the upcoming film, and are surprised that most of those predictions were wrong. The film does not mimic the comic books in many respects, which I guess would be too predictable.

Although Spiderman was shown in the trailer, it wasn’t clear which side he was on. Some of the shots in the trailer were actually cut to exclude Spiderman in the fighting, so it could be kept a mystery. Spiderman’s role was that of the comic relief. He wouldn’t stop talking during the battle. Even though he was fighting against other superheroes, he showed them respect as if he were a baseball rookie playing against Babe Ruth.

One thing that we were all impressed with was when Tony Stark introduces a new virtual reality technology to his former college, MIT, and shows a younger version of himself. The VFX was incredible because most of the audience knows exactly how a young Robert Downey Jr. looks. It is one of those movies that you appreciate more on the big screen rather than on your TV at home, so if you didn’t get a chance to see this film, now is the time.
